Provision of personalized landmarks for the elderly

Eva Nuhn

What is a landmark?• Object which serves as external reference point• Anything that stands out from the background may serve as a landmark• E.g. buildings, signs, stores, or mountains• They can be recognized through contrasts of cleanliness, age, cultural

status, or use

„Turn towards the Schweizerische Südwestbahn“

„Turn right at the Schweizerische Südwestbahn“

„Go down the street and turn right at the Mc Donald's“

Current landmark research

• No considerations of the personal dimension of landmarks • No investigation of the integration of personal landmark information directly in the routing

algorithms

Spatial subjective attributes- Visual- Semantic- Structural- …

Why do we need personalized landmarks?

„go down the street and turn

right at the Apple Store“

Personalized landmarks couldbe very helpful for the elderlyto navigate through spaceespecially if they were tailored exactlyto their needs.

Routing Algorithm

Route with personalized landmarks

Which attributes are important for the personal dimension?

• Personal dimension

• User’s background (Gender, age, place of birth, education)

• User’s interests (e.g. arts, theater, ….)

• User’s goals (reaching a familiar destination, reaching a novel destination, exploratory travel)

• User’s knowledge

User’s knowledge

Knowledge

Degree of Familiarity

Degree of Personalization

Familiarity has an influence on the preferences of certain

types of landmarks (Quesnot & Roche, 2015)

„My home“ „the city museum“ „The corn cob“

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augsburger_Hotelturm#/media/File:Augsburg_Dorint-Novotel-Hotelturm_Maiskolben.jpg

User‘s knowledge

in general older adults have lower spatial abilities (Ziefle and Bay, 2006) Elderly people commonly have greater difficulty retracing routes and memorizing maps (Goodman et al.,

2005) Elderly people have more problems in utilizing allocentric cognitive maps for navigating three-dimensional

environments (Wiener et al., 2013) People with dementia: long-term memory is often less affected older memories are often more firmly established and are more likely to be recalled than newer memories (Alzheimer’s Society, 2016)

A need for personalized landmarks for elderly people?

Lessons learned from previous projects

… where the focus has been on frail older people

Challenges Poor general condition Suffer from several diseases (physiological and psychological) Have to deal with their diseases

Technology comes into their life Additional burden rather than relief Stress, particularly in the introductory phase Little pleasure with the system hence little benefit


©

Idea

… focus on younger seniors with little or no support needs

Advantage Good general condition Are curious Have time to deal with new things Like to give feedback and talk about their experiences

Technology comes into their life Try it out like a toy If something does not work like they expect they try again Learn how to deal with new technologies when they are healthy and fit

Are able to use technology when it is needed Technology can additionally be used for maintaining their health status

In ZentrAAL the term “comfort” is interpreted differently: Empowering older people (in sheltered housing schemes) to be able to deal with (simple) activities

themselves Maintaining or even improving functional abilities Prolonging independent living (and to reduce/delay care demand) Being supported in dealing with the system by employees of social care organizations

• Demographic ChangeDecreasing and ageing population with a raising number ofdisabled citizens

• Spatial DevelopmentVicious circle of public transport: Lower demand progressive reduction of supply

• Sustainable Development of MobilityGreat necessity of economic, environmental and social innovationsdue to increasing number of disabled inhabitants and of personswith chronic deseases

Three Prime Reasons

mobility for every citizen!innovative services for the public transport in the demographic change

Three Target Groups• Elderly population• Disabled citizens or residents with reduced mobility• Citizens who are cut off from public transport system

Three Types of Guides• Full-time guides, financed by state-subsidised employment• Volunteers• „Spontaneous guides“ – organized by apps on smartphones (e.g. students)

In the City and in the Countryside• In densely populated urban and sub-urban areas• In rural areas with hardly existing public transport services• In rural areas with non-existing public transport services

EasyGoingAN APPROACH TO IMPLEMENT COST-EFFECTIVE AREA WIDE DATA SOURCES FOR THE PEDESTRIAN

NAVIGATION IN GERMANY –A FEASIBILITY STUDY

PROF. DR. DANIEL BIEBER, KATHLEEN SCHWARZ, ISO-INSTITUT, SAARBRÜCKENPROF. DR. HARTMUT ASCHE, UNIVERSITÄT POTSDAM

EasyGoing - a feasibility study

Pedestrian Navigation – What is so special about it?

• Mobility at low speed

• Main focus on the orientation

• Orientation by the use of landmarks

• It ensures a great freedom of movement


Who is „the“ Pedestrian?

Requirements

- Security

- Accessibilty (incl. buildings)

- Social participation

- Temporary hindrances

- Time-disctance-economy

Motivation

Leisure- Culturel activities- Sightseeing- Shopping

Business trip

Devices

- (Power) wheelchair

- Walker-rollator

- Other devices

Characteristics

- Without disabilities

- Reduced mobility

- Motor impairment

- Visual impairment

- Hearing impairment

- Mental disabilities

- Analphabets

Pedestrians


• Qualitative interviews (n=11)• Guideline with items to determine…

which geographical data are relevant for pedestrians, the reasons for the use of technology, description of experiences made with systems currently available on the market, personal details.

• Evaluation through content analysis

Qualitative Survey of potential users


Typical characteristics?– Programme: Google Maps– Typical: the route planning is first made on the PC,

if one wants to be on the safe side, a smartphone is taken along the way

Qualitative Survey- Results I -


Technical Solutions for the use of pedestrian navigation (away from an entiresmartphone solution)

– specific user requirements (visual impairment/reduced mobility/motorimpairment)• voice guidance• vibration• smartWatch• intelligente clothes• augmented Reality

(additional information/gamification)• man-implants interface• intelligent white stick

Qualitative Survey- Results II -


Technical problems that have to be solved!– the battery power dwindles too fast due to GPS-tracking and mobile data use– how should we deal with the large amount of data resulting from the

complexity of maps in future? – how should the user requirements friendly data filtering look like? – smooth transition from outdoor to indoor-navigation (administrative bodies,

rail stations, airports, etc.)

Qualitative Survey- Solutions III -


Social participation/independency– navigation system as a mean for persons with disabilities– increasing of independency and the feeling of autonomy– not to be dependent on others

Multimodale journey (beyond national borders)– Different transportation option can be offered in one single route

(board walk, public tranjsport, taxi, car, plane)– several action alternatives during navigation(restaurant, shopping,

meeting friends)

Qualitative Survey- Solutions IV -


Protection of personal data and transparency– inadequate knowledge of the saving of appropriate data, the

duration and what provider should do with the data– parties: can not be changes/ can not be accepted

Willingness to pay for pedestrian navigation– The willingness to pay can only be increased through attractive

additional functions / new technical solutions / accurate positioning

Qualitative Survey- Solutions V -


Results Only isolated solutions are available Heterogeneous data collection Non-existing guidelines and solutions to create data Non-appropiate data set for pedestrian navigation

Standards for object types and methods for recording are to be developed

For optimal routing, a high degree of individualisation in filtering data is crucial

Automation of processes and methods to gather data, to processing data and to updating data for a cost-effective data set

Bringing solutions from the idea to the market• AAL has invested more than 400 million Euros to initiate ICT-based solutions.• Why have only a few of these projects found their way on to the market?• Why is there no major impact?

[Urs Guggenbuehl, Ian Spero]

strictly confidential

We should ask the users what they need• Around 1900, users would ask for a faster horse instead of a car• User-Centered Design, Participatory Design, Living Labs

• In research, these methods are well established in AAL• Industry? Startups?

Nice solution, but I am not that old to need it• Acceptance of solutions

Nice solution, but I am not that old to need it• Acceptance of solutions

• Stigmatizing effects• Sales arguments must focus on being smart, stylish• How to reach the target group

• TV, WWW, Facebook, what now, what next?

Investments• Research output: positive evaluation, working prototype• Should we further invest here?

Investments• Research output: positive evaluation, working prototype• Should we further invest here?

• High risk• Need for tools, industrial design• Similar products might have already failed for unknonw reasons

• Big investors required for funding with risk• Matchmaking• Market research data required for arguments

Distribution• Where to actually offer and sell AAL products
